Young science wizards have more time to enter a competition designed to show how the subject can be exciting.

The deadline for Education.com's `The Great Big Science Competition' has been extended to April 12.

It was launched in September 2001, with the aim of making science fun and getting children interested in the possibilities science has to offer which is also the thinking behind the Government's Science Year initiative. The main prizes are sleepovers for entire classes at science-related venues.
